What Is Gum Reconstruction?

Gum Reconstruction is a periodontal procedure that restores the height and shape of the gum line by adding healthy tissue to affected areas. This treatment protects exposed tooth roots from further damage or decay while enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.

Why Do I Need Gum Reconstruction?

Gum recession can occur due to periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or genetics. Regardless of the cause, receding gums can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay or tooth loss, and an uneven or unattractive gum line. Gum Reconstruction is an effective solution to treat gum recession and restore the natural shape and health of your gums.

What Gum Reconstruction Involves

During a Gum Reconstruction procedure, healthy gum tissue is collected from the roof of your mouth or another donor source and carefully placed onto the affected area. The tissue is then sutured in place to promote proper attachment and healing. Depending on the complexity of the procedure, local anesthesia or sedation may be used to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

1

Protects Exposed Tooth Roots

When gums recede, the roots of your teeth can become exposed, leading to sensitivity and discomfort while eating, drinking, or brushing. Gum Reconstruction adds healthy tissue to the affected area, covering the exposed roots and helping prevent further damage or decay.

2

Reduces Root Sensitivity

Exposed tooth roots are often sensitive to temperature, pressure, and other stimuli. Gum Reconstruction helps reduce this sensitivity by covering the roots with healthy gum tissue, creating a protective barrier that shields them from external irritation.

3

Prevents Further Gum Recession

If left untreated, gum recession can continue, causing additional tooth and gum damage. Gum Reconstruction adds healthy tissue to the affected area, helping stabilize the gumline and prevent further recession.

4

Enhances the Appearance of Your Smile

Gum recession can make teeth look longer, uneven, or unbalanced, affecting the overall look of your smile. Gum Reconstruction restores the natural contour of your gums, creating a more uniform and attractive appearance. Healthy gums also provide a strong foundation for restorative or cosmetic treatments, further enhancing your smile.
